Repent or Perish: Rediscovering True Repentance

A big shout out to all of our listeners everywhere. We pray that everyone stays safe during this arctic glass of winter we're experiencing. Thanks for tuning in and sharing some of your time with us. We pray the manifold blessings of God on your life and on the lives of your loved ones. We do encourage you, if you haven't already done so, to listen to all of our thanks. Again, thanks for being part of our community of listeners. In this episode, Bishops Ronald and LaCreece Roston lead a faithful, Bible-centered conversation titled "Repent or Perish." They examine Acts 3:19–21 and other scriptures to explain why repentance is essential for entering and remaining in fellowship with God. The hosts define repentance as a radical change of mind and life: recognition of sin, godly sorrow, confession, restitution, and reformation. They stress that repentance is more than feeling sorry—it requires tangible change and the fruit of a new, God-centered lifestyle. Key points include the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow, the ongoing need for repentance after conversion, and the spiritual dangers of persistent, unrepentant sin (distance from God, a seared conscience, and loss of fellowship). Practical steps such as immediate confession, removing triggers, seeking community accountability, and relying on God’s grace are offered. The episode also surveys different theological views (Lordship salvation, Free Grace, Wesleyan/Arminian) and emphasizes that genuine faith will bear evidence of repentance. Listeners are encouraged to live under the lordship of Yeshua, pursue holiness, and practice daily turning from self-rule to God-rule. For further study, the hosts recommend their books and invite listeners to continue the conversation in the next segment. Shalom.
